I just assumed they were still tired because they signed up for sip-cap instead of CPAP.chunkyfrog wrote:Is anyone besides me disturbed by the OP'S unusual spelling of CPAP?

Re: Why many are still tired after starting CPCAP
Yeah, this whole OSA is a fat people's problem is old and outdated thinking.
I have lost over 100 pounds since starting CPAP 5 years ago. I am now a "normal" weight (under 25 BMI) and still on CPAP and always will be. My doctors were so excited to do another sleep study after I'd lost about 80 lbs. What they concluded was that the only reason I was diagnosed was *because* I had gained so much weight. I started seeking treatment when I was only slightly overweight in 2005. It took becoming morbidly obese by 2011 for my sleep doctors to take me seriously. After I lost the weight, they were just sure I was going to be one of their "success stories" - someone who lost the weight and lost their need for CPAP. Nope. Because my mouth and airway are child-sized. I had my tonsils and adenoids removed as a child to make more room in my throat so this should have been obvious, but the doctors really seem to be confounded by thinner people with OSA. Thank god I gained so much weight it almost killed me so that I could get diagnosed with OSA so the oxygen desats (79) from the OSA didn't kill me. If that's not some convoluted BS, I don't know what is.
